Reading the news, lots of bad stories, bad stuff in the world, so when I saw these films I just wanted to share them because they are beautiful, and make feel free. Reminder there are beautiful places and the opportunity for anyone to see them (assuming all can access the links). Even when it is dark and cold!

OK, so one is focussing on his girlfriend and the other is a climbing group, but the drone shots are really cool, I think.Vimeo videos - click link to watch. I don't know if there are any international access issues.

So, hope you relax, enjoy, take a moment. Maybe add something you want to share (This is my idea of beauty - but maybe yours is different? Share yours?

Thanks for the videos. Beautiful. It is great to see what the rest of the world is like. There are so many beautiful places on earth.

They reminded me of some First Nations' blessings about the beauty of the earth.

Apache Blessing

May the sun bring you new energy by day, may the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash away your worries, may the breeze blow new strength into your being, may you walk gently through the world and know it's beauty all the days of your life. - Apache Blessing

This is the Earth, healed again, growing green and blue. I want you to remember this exactly as it is, and then go and tell the people that if enough of us hold this image in their minds, we can heal the Earth and make it like it was a long time ago. - Grandfather Rolling Thunder, Cherokee Medicine Elder

You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of our grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground they spit upon themselves.

This we know. The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. - Chief SeattleThe past is to be respected/acknowledged, not worshipped. It is in our future we will find our greatness. Pierre Trudeau

Beautiful, JJ. We both live in some of the most gorgeous landscapes on earth! How lucky we are. And how lucky that we both appreciate what we have! The past is to be respected/acknowledged, not worshipped. It is in our future we will find our greatness. Pierre Trudeau

I wasn't sure whether to post this or ignore it, because it is a bit over the top - but it is not a puff piece, just one person's musings, so I guess it is OK (also risks promoting bad habits - never, never go off-road over mossland, which some tourists will persist in doing even though it is illegal - it takes centuries for the vegetation to recover) - but it is not the normal touristy stuff - a bit more existential, so I thought why not. Nice and calming.
